Problem description

Two vulnerabilities were found in wget. The first is that an HTTP
redirect statement could be used to do a directory traversal and
write to files outside of the current directory. The second is that
HTTP redirect statements could be used to overwrite dot ('.') files,
potentially overwriting the user's configuration files (such as
.bashrc, etc.).
The updated packages have been patched to help address these problems
by replacing dangerous directories and filenames containing the dot ('.')
character with an underscore ('_') character.
